----------------------------Original message---------------------------- This Jennifer Fu from Florida International University. Since our institute is fairly new, we are just starting planning our map collection. I have a few requests from anyone who can provide any help: 1) the collection policy/guideline of maps in your library, which defines the scope of the collection 2) tips on acquisition (any vendors for maps) -- you can forward me the information of your favorite map vendors 3) tips on classification -- what call number scheme you use? how do you arrange depository maps and non-depository maps? what about the big scrolls, globes? You can send me any tips or information via e-mail or mail: Jennifer Fu Documents Librarian AT227B, University Park Miami, FL33199 (305)348-3138 (Phone) (305)552-8462 (Fax) [log in to unmask] Any help will be deeply appreciated. :)Jennifer Fu
